vour
esteemed
paper.
[
am
unable
to
see
the meaning
or purpose
of the
pseu-
donym he persists
in writinggunder.
He
seems for the
most part
tu be
a
despotie
sort of a person
anyway
and,
therefore,
hardiy,
a
friend
in the
sense
[
under-
stand ?hat word; at
all
events
he is
not
a friend of progress,
his
ideas
beisg
con-
spicuously
of the antediluvian
age
when
weoble
did iittle else
than
drink milk and
build high towers
from
whiech
to
jump
0!
Into
bheaven
when
it rained
hard.
Nowadays,
we
have
neither
milk
nor
rain and
a different
policy ils
impera-ive,.
With
referenc2
to bis
charge
that
I
at-
tacked
his letter,
please
let
''Kriend’’
be
intormed
that
his
le:ter
in the Avis of
June 30th. ra*her
constituted
an
attack
qpon
me
waen
he alluded
to ‘‘a little
ar-
gument,
over marriage
as being
a
sacra-
ment’’, and essayed
divers
comments
on
phases
of
the
question.
Be
that
as
it
may,
he
can
rest assured
that
ne
attack
15,
or
can
be,
directed against
a
man
oi
straw which
he virtually
1s
in
his
posi-
tion of slinging ink.
¢n
a
conglomeration
of
natter neith~r
a discussion
of whether
or not marriage
is
a sacrament,
w ether
or not the
desk
is =uperior
to
the
pulpit,
or
anything
at
all
definite. . ''Friend’’
will please
be advised
that
his
advocat-
ing the
use of the desk
in
preference
to’
the pulpit is in confliet with his other
an-
tiquated
noticn of things
judging
which
I would expect
to
have
him
clamor
for
the
pulpit,
or
the
mountain
¢ven.
His
argumait
in
this?
connection,
like
his other contentions,
ean
not
nold
wa-
ter.
By what
he says
he infers
that the
members
of
a
congregation
hear
with
their
agocks,
since
the
use
of the
desk
affords
‘‘'much
more
comfort
to
the
“‘necks’’ of his hearers
than
the
.
pulpit’’.
Supposing
they
did
near
through
their
necks,
then,
at
any rate,
only
those
on
the first floor
would
be benefitted
by the
use
of
the
desk
while
those
in the
gal-
lery
must
crane
their
necks
downward
to
hear,
for
it is
a
logical
assumption
that if it is
necessary
to have
the
neck
bent
upwards
when
the speaker
is above,
then
it must
be
bent
down vards
when
he
1s below.
If '‘Friend’’ will
be
a
bit
reasonable
he
would
save
himself
and
others the
trouble
of dealing
with
pro-
blems
which,
when
examined,
are
not
vroblems after
all.
In reply
to the
re-
quest
with
which
‘‘Friend’s’
letter
in
today’s
paper
concludesI would simply
say
that
the
word
‘‘protestant’’
when
applied
to religion, is
understood
to
de-
signate
an
adherent
to
the
principles
which formed the
‘protest’” made
by the
{Lutheran
party
against
the
‘Diet
~f~*
Spires’
in
1525.
This is
merely
a state-
ment
of
faet.
Should
‘‘Friend’”’ wish
to
know more,
let
him
come
with
his
further inquiries and they will be
answer-
od here,
or he will be
referred
to
rhere
the proper informatior
is
alleged
to
be
obtainable.

Editor St.
Crowx Awvis,
Dear Siv:-
In your
valued
paper
I
read
today
an
oven
denuneiation
of
someone
who, like
the
majority
of
us,
is
asked
to
pay
more
for
goods
than
they
are
worth,
or,
as
cited,
more
than
the prices
fixed by the Food
Commission.
'‘Cooks”’
claim
that
a
certain
grocery
owned
by
a member
of the Focd
Commission
is sell-
ing
the
16
cen'
sugar
at
20
cents
a
pound.
That
is
nothing
new; almost
I shops
are
doing
the
same
thing.
Take
R.
D.
Benjamin’s
yrocery
in
Christiansted
for example;
'here
wup
to
yesterday
wmorning
after
yowr
paper
Jor the
day was
in
the
hands
of
read-
ers,
raw sugar,
for which
the
price
has
been
fixed
at
16
cents,
was sold at
24
cents
a
pound.
If I
am
not
mistaken
the
proprietor
of
that
grocery
is
also
a
member
of
the
Food
Commission.
It ap_ears
to
be
a
waste
of
time
and
words
to publish
these
irregular
things
and
that
s
why
many
people
would
prefer
that
the
existence
of
the
Food
Commission
be
annulled
and
then
what
is
now
an
unpunished
violation
of
an
ordinance
that
ought
to
be
respecred,
would
simply
be
ordinary
profiteering,
which
we are used
to.

Constantinople,
July 6th-—Greek
troops
have
swept
the
ecountry
west

Bazl-

clear of Turks,
as
far
north
as
Adramyte.
They also
have landed
large
forces
in Chardak,
on
the
Dardanelies.
The Turks
retreated
in such
disorder that
the
Greeks
easily
inflicted
grcat
losses
upon
them
and took many prisoners
with
few casualties
among
themselves.
1t was
found
unnecessary
for the
Greek
forces
to shell
any
towns,
as
all
hoisted
the
white flag when they approacl.ed.
